Sincerely...Mickie...

Dear Hurting Head....

I am writing this note to excuse Mickie from worrying so much.  It appears during the past few weeks, she has developed a severe habit of worrying about things that she has no control over.   She has been struggling to sleep...has frequent migraines...checks her messages incessantly...and feels that something is inexplicably missing in her life.

I absolutely understand...that she has many gaps...or emotional holes...and often feels that she is completely alone...that she is weird...that she is destined to never have anyone love her and commit themselves to her...for any extended period of time....

Although I have shared with her...on several occasions...that a watched pot never boils...she insists on staring at the stove...wiping it down and testing the water...My concern...is that she is wasting time worrying over something that isn't worth it...That she is losing sleep over something that will come...or not come...whether she is awake or not...and that while she is investing all of this energy on fruitless situations...she is letting fresh...tasty fruit rot on the ground...

I'm sure you can appreciate my overwhelming concern...for her well-being...and...although you enjoy hurting...maybe...you could move along and mess with someone else's head...for a bit...Yes...she is 44 years old and divorced...Yes...she truly...deep down...believes in love and hopes to find it for herself...Yes...she has big dreams...huge dreams...and is semi talented...and yes...she is about to embark on a huge adventure...and is probably a tiny bit overwhelmed...and carries a itsy bitsy dot of fear...in her heart...although she would never admit it...

I say...let's give her a break...a time out...or time off from kicking herself...or feeling low...or feeling weird...even though she is weird...in all the right ways...everyone knows it...I'm hoping that this letter will encourage you to move it along and bother someone else...for just awhile...someone who deserves to have a headache...please don't make me list a few...that could use some inconvenience...

Please feel free to contact me with any concerns...or questions about why she might need a break...Hopefully...you will agree with this assessment and allow her to have a peaceful rest of her week and possibly a weekend.  You may forward any future migraines to her ex husband...and one of the jerks she works with...no names need mentioning....

Thank you for your consideration...in this matter...and it is greatly hoped that no force will have to be used to conduct this reprieve...As always...I am available to speak with you further on this matter...and hope you won't feel uncomfortable if I attend any meetings with you...wearing brass knuckles...I'm sure you catch my meaning...

Quite sincerely...Mickie
